Alive On Arrival

After fifteen years of shaping dancefloors worldwide, Mele arrives at his long-awaited debut album, Alive On Arrival, via Defected Records. This is not an introduction so much as the sound of an artist moving with real focus, pulling together the influences, collaborators and ideas that have defined his path.

Drawing from house, hip-hop, UK music, soulful R&B and wider global sounds, Alive On Arrival feels open, rich and fully formed. It is a collective record without losing its centre, with Mele holding everything together through sharp production instincts and a clear sense of story.
